The alphabet series (in pen).

T is for Timothee, terrine, TikTok, tree. A3 original, ink on GF Smith paper.

Those who know me know that I love a repetitive line, and more often than not an accompanying Netflix series I could probably tell you nothing about.

One of the many things I’ve decided to do with this lockdown time is to create an alphabet, not exactly original I realise, but it’s nice to have a predetermined list of 26 things I can interpret in my own way, using a ruled lead pencil 10mm grid, and freehand ink lines, and on special occasions when the need arises - my newly acquired compass. I’ve been using any paper/ grid book I have in my possession. I’m quite happy with the resulting images - I think they will look lovely on walls on their own or in a larger collective. I’m just experimenting with reproduction methods and will hopefully share some progress snaps in the lead up to me listing some prints for sale.

J is for Jack, Joe, Jessie, juniper, jacket potato. A3 original, black ink on GF Smith paper.

Y is for Yasmin - a commission. A2 Original ink on GF Smith paper.

Some letters are easier than others to breakdown into lines and curves and there have been a few duds that need a bit more work at a smaller sketchier scale before going all the way with the larger iterations. Here are some process scribbles.
